Democratic COnduct.

Tho election has made plain tho
course of Democratic conduct. There
is now no doubt whatever as to tho
Presidential candidate. The President
will be rcnominatcd, not only without
opposition, but without serious dis
sont.
The only personal question which
will occupy the attention Of the party
will bc the selection Of Vicc-Prcsi-
dental candidate. Considerations of
locality will determine tho choice.
Some Western statesman will doubt
less bc chosen Ia complete tho ticket.
Tho preliminary canvass is thus re-
lievcd Of those obstacles to party
union which arc usually found in tho
aspirations of prominent mon, and in
the rivalries of their friends and fol-
lowers.
Wo may hope then that tho canvass,
thus freed from personal disscnsions,
will bo conducted upon higher plano,
and will bo occupied with great public
politics.
Our duty as to measures is rs plain
rs our choice Of tho man. Tho fodoral
taxation must be straightway reduced.
No party, no government can long
c6duro tho strain put upon It by tho
collection and disbursement Of n
creator revenue than is necessary.
Tho collection Of unnecessary taxos
is an odions form of tyranny. It
breeds popular discomfort and de-
stroys that confidence in tho admins
tration of public affairs without which
free institutions cannot be maintained.

justice.
This being, therefore, law and gos-
pol, why should this samo defendant,
whom his testimony is needed to hang
y murderer, or sustain tho suit Of his
nejghbor, be excluded from the wit
moss stand, because fvo'or ten years
before ho was convicted of petit lar
ceny, or expressed, perhaps, his dis
sent from tho current theology? Why,
we ask, should tho law DO permitted to
remain thus? TO tho answer that it
shorld bo continued because endorsed
by "thc wisdom Of ages" VIC intcrpcsc
a demurrer. This ancient following
has dono duty long enough When
trial by battle was tho law Of the land
there was not wanting sage counsellors,
learned judges and venerable conscr-
vativos to dofond it on the ground that
our ancestors have bcqueathcd it to us
as rich legacy.
But, really, this argument is out Of
harmony with the spirit Of the age.
Some Of our ancestors were smart mon,
others of thom, perhaps, had no molc
sense than we have, and, as it is not
desired that the next generation shall
perpetuate all the errors that VIC sane
ton, so, neither, can it be expected
that We should be bound down to all
the nonsense that these old gentlemen
thought to be tho "pcrfcction of hu-
man reason"
Coming down to plain statement, !,
then we insist that If tho testimony Of
man is entitled to any weight at all
when he is tcstifying in his behalf,
with the strongest motives to avoid
tho truth, it is very illogicaltO exclude
him when he occupies the position of
disintcrcstcd witness. Considered in
this light, it is at once seen that the
penalty falls not upon the party cxclu-
dcd, but rather upon the duo admins
tration ofjusticc.
Again, we repeat, that all wit
ncsses Who arc offered should be heard

The Experience of Successful Grower OF
This Profitable Fruit.
Land best adapted to currant cul-
ture is rich alluvial soil with a sub
soil of clay. The land should not be
wet, but level OF slightly rolling. The
currant is great feeder, and one
need not fear of making the land too
rich. The ground should be deeply
plowed and thoroughly pulverized, and
marked off into rows five and one-half
feet apart each way. To novice this
may seem an extravagant distance
apart, but it is not, and even six feet
would be better than less distance.
They need to be far enough apart to
allow the use of horse and cultivator

These plants can be procured of any

ing from $3.50 to IS hundred, de-

keep well cultivated and perfectly
clean; let no weeds, grass or clover be
allowed to grow among them.

before winter sets in, put two large
forkfulls of we'll rotted manure around
